I am not a huge fan of Hybrid technology, I support diesel quite strongly. My last diesel was a 1984 VW Rabbit diesel, car ran like a tank. Sold the car with 354,000 miles on the original engine. VW has announced they are bringing the TDI Golf back to the USA! This makes me one happy man! 31/42MPG no need for a silly hybrid!

SIMPLY PUT—THE BEST GOLF OF ALL TIMES THAT ONCE
AGAIN SETS NEW STANDARDS FOR ITS CLASS
HERNDON, VA, September 28, 2009 – For 2010, the venerable Volkswagen
Golf is ready to stand out yet again-sporting fresh, dynamic styling inside and
out. The Golf, now in its sixth generation, will be available with the highly
anticipated, athletic yet extremely fuel efficient, TDI clean diesel engine.
Available in both two and four-door models, the new Golf carries the Volkswagen
brand heritage into overdrive with proven, German-engineered performance and
refinement at affordable starting prices. The new Golf starts at $17,490 for the
two-door model, and $19,190 for the four-door version. Several options are
available to make the 2010 Golf a perfect choice for those consumers who
demand a compact car that is equipped to not only be functional when called
upon, but also looks, drives, and feels fun at the same time.
Having already been honored as the "World Car of the Year," the latest-
generation Golf promises more vigor, better usability and the best fuel economy
of any Golf to date.
